Aadhaar users execute 231 crore transactions in Nov, clocking growth of 8.5 pc

New Delhi, Dec 2 (UNI) In the month of November, Aadhaar holders executed 231 Crore authentication transactions, clocking a growth of almost 8.5 percent as against the same period last year, said the Ministry of Electronics & IT on Tuesday.
It is indicative of the growing usage of Aadhaar, as well as the growth of the digital economy in the country, it added.
The November 2025 authentication transactions are the highest so far when compared with any of the previous months this fiscal year, as in October, the numbers stood at 219.51 Crore.
The growing usage shows how Aadhaar has been playing the role of a facilitator for effective welfare delivery, and voluntarily availing services offered by service providers.
Aadhaar e-KYC transactions during November registered a significant jump, with 47.19 Cr such transactions recorded during the month, more than a 24 percent increase when compared with November 2024.
Aadhaar e-KYC service continues to be a catalyst in improving customer experience and adding ease of doing business in sectors including banking and non-banking financial services, the MeitY said.
As per the data shared by the ministry, the Aadhaar Face Authentication solutions are also witnessing consistent traction. Nearly 60 percent of the Digital Life Certificates generated by pensioners during November used Aadhaar face authentication.
This AI-based face authentication modality of UIDAI works on both Android and iOS platforms. It enables users to verify their identity with just a face scan, ensuring convenience while upholding stringent security standards.
Overall, 28.29 Cr face authentication transactions were executed in November 2025, as against 12.04 Cr such transactions during the same period in 2024.
